Yeah, mozy, carbonite, etc... all had pretty low limits but crashplan just doesn't seem to care. I use to be a mozy user before they lowered their limits.
You download an ap, you tell it what directories to back-up (or it'll suggest some), you configure throttling if you want (highly suggested) and then you set it and forget it. It'll email you reports on how it's progressing and if it stalls for some reason. Leave your computer on and connected!
What's the guarantee? It's a server somewhere other than your's. That's about as good as a DVD.

After inital load, differential sync's are a breeze and happen completely automatically.What's the guarantee? It's a server somewhere other than your's. That's about as good as a DVD.
that's why I chose crashplan - Otter
